Chapter 939: Chapter 407: Bandit Group_2

Dieting was the choice for most people, after all, everyone had developed a repulsion towards instant noodles.

Lin Wu gave Lin Meng a suggestion; all she needed to do was chop off one of her legs to complete the task. The mockery triggered Lin Meng’s competitive spirit, and she decided to start running. It went smoothly at first; after running a kilometer, her blood sugar became unstable, prompting her to rush back to the base. Since the person administering injections was under the bridge, she ate four energy bars in panic to stabilize her blood sugar. Hypoglycemia, a common acute complication of diabetes, could be fatal, but it wasn’t caused by diabetes per se, rather by its treatment—excess insulin and excessive exercise were the main culprits.

Snow Egg, Little Knife, and Su Shi’s weight loss method was to drink water—water only, no food. By the afternoon, the three had started to feel somewhat fond of instant noodles.

Shana chose the method of crying wolf by singing at the edge of the bridge. It’s said that singing opera involves many body muscles. Whether it’s effective was unknown, but the noise level had certainly earned everyone’s recognition.

Lin Wu’s weight loss method was the Lin Wu Weight Loss Method, starting with Xiao Wu giving him a haircut, clipping all his fingernails and toenails, and then grinding off the dead skin on his heels, shedding a total of 0.1 kilograms. Xiao Wen shared her weight loss experience with Lin Wu, as weight loss was essentially a women-exclusive topic.

The quick weight loss method was to cut out carbs, like instant noodles. Never believe that going vegetarian will help you lose weight. The ultimate weight loss tool was going to bed on an empty stomach.

Lin Wu really appreciated Xiao Wen’s valuable advice and went to rest in the pergola.

By the end of the day, most people had seen decent results, and some expected to finish their task by tomorrow. But plans don’t always keep up with changes. Maya brought back a huge chunk of porcupine leg from the meat market and cooked it into a pot of soup. She boiled the instant noodles, fished them out into a bowl, then poured the rich, purine-loaded soup over them, adding some chili peppers and garlic paste. Trying a sip was irresistible.

Lin Wu, sitting on a nearby chair, tilted his head towards Lin Meng and said, "Never expected her to be the most cunning."

Lin Meng responded, "She’s cooking tonight."

Lin Wu: "So?"

Lin Meng: "Tonight’s meal surpasses the past week’s."

Lin Wu: "Then what?"

Lin Meng: "Are you going to eat it or not?"

Lin Wu was conflicted: "Not eating seems like a waste of food, and wasting food could bring divine retribution in the Apocalypse Era."

While they spoke, Little Knife and Stone had already scooped two bowls of noodles, topped with meat soup and sprinkled with green onions, looking very appetizing and making the dieters continuously swallow their saliva.

Maya explained, "There’s no refrigerator, so food can’t be preserved. They can’t finish it all; surely it can’t be thrown away?"

Ultimately, everyone succumbed to temptation and ate at least a bowl of noodles.

Eating noodles, chatting, and the music-playing radio announced: "Good evening, everyone. This is the Veteran’s Shelter." Veteran’s Shelter only broadcasts recruitment notices every few hours, and the music is beautiful. The two bases are quite close, so the sound quality is good, hence it’s routine for the base to tune to Veteran Base’s channel.

Veteran Base: "Two hours ago, the Veteran’s Club encountered a gang’s attack near the southwest of North City at the North City Shelter. Of the seven people at the shelter, six died on the spot; the last one, severely injured, managed to call us via satellite phone to warn us to be cautious. Given his injuries, survival seems unlikely."

Veteran Base: "According to him, there were seven attackers on four motorcycles; one claimed to be the gang leader, calling himself Nightmare."

Nightmare forced the injured to answer questions. Little White Rabbit immediately interfered in this matter, assessing that the injured must respond to Nightmare’s inquiries; this part was unknown to Veteran Base. Veteran Base only knew that Nightmare obtained the Veteran’s Club’s password through coercion.

Previously, Xiao Wu had explained that the Veteran’s Club was a building designated for veterans’ physical and psychological recovery. In the club’s basement, two levels are recreational areas, with the second floor being a shooting range. Day After Tomorrow City is a Gun-free City, so weapons and ammunition at the shooting range are strictly managed. The Veteran’s Club’s basement level two has a vault, housing various firearms and a large stock of ammunition.

Personnel from Veteran Base took some weapons and ammunition from the vault and overran the logistics park. Now, a large cache of munitions remains in the vault.

The vault is guarded by active-duty soldiers, a measure due to past incidents of veterans stealing from the armament store. Duty soldiers work inside the vault, and staff must follow certain procedures to gain entry. If there are no duty soldiers, access to the vault requires both a key and a password.

The password is crucial; entering it incorrectly three times locks the vault, necessitating a factory engineer to unlock it. The key does not have this restriction. Nightmare’s attack on North City Base was clearly targeting this cache of munitions.

In terms of armed forces, the East Base has the strongest armament, equipped with planes and artillery. The next in line is the Special Police Training and Dispatch Base, which was immediately attended to by East Base, as they didn’t wish for weapons to flow into society. Then there’s the police station, mostly equipped with handguns and a few other firearms. On D2, most of the weapons had either been distributed or taken by survivors.

The remaining treasure trove of ammunition in Day After Tomorrow City is only at the Veteran’s Club.

Veteran’s Club has published their satellite phone number, expressing gratitude towards anyone who eliminates the gang and offers material rewards.
